@Chrona @phil777 a soldier who's been shot in a life threatening location takes up ridiculous amount of resources.
You have to risk transport to bring them out of the immediate battle. You have to arrange transport to a safe medical centre. At that point he is is effectively out of the fight for 6-10 months on average, during which the state has to look after him if he survives, and if he needs to have limbs amputated or organs removed, he likely can't go back to fight again at all. The country needs to care for him, provide medical attention, and have doctors run ragged the more casualties there are.
And you have the bad press of the soldiers screaming in agony, young men and women permanently maimed, blinded, choking on their own blood, having to shit in a bag, scorched faces like undercooked beef.
A corpse takes five minutes of work by a couple of soldiers to bury. A wounded soldier takes the equivalent of five men off the front line for a few weeks.
Hospitals are there to stop people dying. They aren't some magical unit healing facility that lets you turn injured soldiers into fighting soldiers again. Destroying them really doesn't help reduce the enemies you need to subdue to win.
What it DOES do is demoralise the enemy troops, since if they get shot, they will probably die without hospitals to help them. But hospitals don't actually help get very many soldiers back to the front line.
Now in magical healing land, none of that applies and shooting the healer is fair game. But mysteriously we don't have magical healing spells in real life.

@RedSalt I mean, she could've gone after DIablo with her other arm or just shook him off. It's not that hard to get out of a forearm grapple even if there is a significant strength difference, but considering she was specialized in melee I doubt that. Heck she could've just done anything other than just wait for death. But, nah, talking is free action and grabbing the forearm of a woman guaranteed instant victory. This trope is old and stupid.

@HuevoPodrido Does it sadden you just because they were girls?
@Red225
In that case the meta becomes, kill the healers, and majorly maim combatants. That way you're wasting the enemies resources on multiple fronts. Slow demoralization, not easy to move bodies, and stressed to the point of being ineffective medical staff.
This begs the question of, if it's so hard to heal soldiers back to health, why don't we just let them die? Because that's horrible? Sure, but you would save resources.

That spell reflect was a perfect "...what?" moment. I thought his magic reflect ring was lost or damaged a while ago. Glad it's still around, because that's just plain silly.

@Chrona again, this doesn't apply to fantasy world's with quick and easy healing and teleportation, and where people can continue to fight at near full capacity after losing a couple of limbs.
In this very real world, countries look after soldiers for a number of reasons:
-normally, as a citizen of your country who has fought for his country, the country has a duty of care to look after him. The whole point of most governments is to care for its citizens.
-pragmatically, if you let your soldiers die instead of healing them, word will get out that you are letting your soldiers die if they get wounded, and you won't get people getting recruited, and your soldiers will start to desert. If you show you don't care for the soldiers lives, why would they fight for you?
It's important to remember the vast majority of wars fought have not been to utter destruction of an enemy. Most of the time it has been until one side of a conflict either sues for peace or capitulates entirely. There is never a time where you would simply stop treating your troops just to save on resources -by the time things get that bad you would already be on your last legs, or you would have been having to neglect your medical supplies for the entirety of the war to be in that state.
Either way, attacking hospitals is barbaric and has minimal or negative effect on the enemy's capabilities. Which is why doing so is both abhorrent and dumb. At best it is a terror attack.
